Definitely more boosting needed, and the absorbencyy of a bamboozle will increase wit the next 10 washes. Bamboozles contain a layer of microfibre, which is very prone to pressure leaks.

I always changed in the night after a full feed, (dream feeds you may get away with) but a single bamboozle, unboosted, is never going to cope with 2 full feeds.

You could try using 2 bamboozles tonight under the wool. It does;t matter if the second one doesn't fit - it will just make a far superior booster than any additional pads. Better still if you have any 100% bamboo nappies, use them instead of the bamboozle. 100% bamboo terry squares are awesome under woo for overnight.

Thanks for the tips!

I’ve ordered some Hemp Babies Bigger Weeds. Do you think one of those will be sufficient in 1 Bamboozle with wool wrap over? I’m so confused if more stuffing will cause liquid to leak out more!

I am determined to get it right but will need to put down a mattress protector until then!

Also I would say she wakes 3+ times a night to snack so probably wetting a lot!

I love my bamboozles but I only use them during the day and would never trust them overnight without a hefty amount of boosting! I use either Ella’s House Bumhuggers with a couple of extra little lamb bamboo boosters (just the ones out of the size one nappies), or currently, as my LO (little one) is between sizes with the EH, a terry Bumble stuffed with a hemp prefold. My LO (little one) is 7 months and I don’t change him overnight anymore. I’m waiting on some Pop Ins with night boosters to arrive as I’m curious to see if they’re as good as I’ve read, but I do recommend the Bumble. It’s cheap, fully fleece lined and has a massive pocket to stuff. It’s bulky but if you’re using wool, that’s not such an issue.

Okay advice needed! I ordered the Hemp Babies Bigger Weeds Hemp boosters (50x43cm). The person at Boobalou told me they might be too big for a Bamboozle. What are your thoughts? Should I exchange for the smaller ones or another booster brand? I want enough ‘boost’ but don’t want to push the liquid out by overfilling. Help!

It’s so confusing because when I read somewhere a particular nappy is great for night I read someone somewhere else couldn’t get it to work and recommends another brand. I feel like I’m running around in circles buying new things 🤦‍♀️. Hopefully I can troubleshoot without too much damage to bank account. 😂

It is tricky, and totally individual. Everyone has a favourite! Even though my 7 month old is my fourth baby, I finding that nappies which worked for my older children don’t for him, and vice versa.

I use bamboozles at night with airflow wraps. She is coming up to 8 months and feeds a lot over night but I don't change her because I don't want to wake her even more! Her nappy is huge and always completely saturated by morning but I use a bamboozle with its popper booster and a fleece liner, then outside that I use whatever I have clean so either another bamboozle with its booster, or a couple of little lamb triple bamboo boosters, or a couple of blueberry hemp doublers, or one of each of those things. Basically just a combo that I hope will hold more wee and then the airflow wrap. I'm hoping when she stops feeding so much (if she ever does!) I won't need to boost so much as I'm worried about how quickly she's going to outgrow the wraps with such a huge nappy!
